Exploring Possibilities

Academics aren't "academic" at Saint Francis University. They're deeply grounded in the traditions of the liberal arts, with an emphasis on developing you into a well-rounded, impactful individual with a passion and a drive for excellence.

Our student go on to become accountants, biologists, business owners, chemists, doctors, environmental engineers, lawyers, nurses, occupational therapists, physician assistants, and physical therapists to name just a few--and they carry their Franciscan values with them.

Expand your educational experience beyond campus with study abroad and service learning trips. Spend a semester in France taking classes at a centuries-old Franciscan monastery or reach out to those in on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Explore the possibilities.
